Most people probably never think, or perhaps never choose to think,
that they routinely ingest animal feces. Yes, much of it is cooked;
but what about the raw animal products, most of which are contaminated
by fecal bacteria, according to the USDA. In many cases, these raw
animal products are handled on surfaces where vegetables are cut and
nobody thoroughly disinfects the surfaces or the knives used. In any
case, feces are feces – cooked or raw! No wonder there is so much
so-called “stomach flu” and food poisoning going around!

Here is a little food for thought:

“In the mid-1970’s, chicken processors argued that in order to keep
up with skyrocketing demand they should be allowed to merely rinse off
fecal matter from bird carcasses rather than cut away affected parts.
The government gave in to the processors’ request, and the rule stands
to this day. A number of studies have since proved that rinsing
carcasses, even up to 40 times, is ineffective at dislodging the
filth. Moreover, the violent motion of factory defeathering rubber
fingers not only works to squirt feces out from the carcasses, it can
push bacteria deep into crevices of the birds’ skin where no process
is able to remove it.”

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
